Attorney-General

Serious Fraud Office

Mr Sheerman:
To ask the Attorney-General whether he has considered taking steps to make the Serious Fraud Office more accountable to Parliament. [83510]

The Solicitor-General:
The Law Officers are already fully accountable to Parliament for the work of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), and the Director of the SFO ensures his department supports the Law Officers in fulfilling this duty as set out in the protocol between the Attorney-General and the prosecuting departments which was published in July 2009 and can be found on the following website:

Mr Sheerman:
To ask the Attorney-General what steps he is taking to increase transparency in the operation of the Serious Fraud Office. [83511]

The Solicitor-General:
The Law Officers are committed to the Government's transparency agenda and have made it clear to all of the Law Officer's Departments (LODs) that they expect them to meet their obligations to make all relevant information available. The Attorney-General's Office works closely with the LODs to help them meet those requirements.

Serious Fraud Office: Operating Costs

Mr Sheerman:
To ask the Attorney-General what the cost to the public purse was of the Serious Fraud Office in each of the last five years. [83508]

The Solicitor-General:
The information requested is contained in the following table:

Total departmental spending(1)

Outturn (£ million)

2006-07

42.870

2007-08

45.937

2008-09

52.801

The resource budget includes vote funding (funding for normal operational activities agreed with HMT), “blockbuster funding”—additional funding to support the costs of investigating/prosecuting large cases (discontinued after 2010-11) and one-off modernisation funding, £8,250 million in 2008-09 and £1,138 million in 2009-10 for a transformation programme for the SFO.

This information is routinely published in the annual SFO Resource Accounts which are available on the official documents website at:

Keith Vaz:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport how many contracts his Department has awarded to G4S since May 2010; and what the (a) purpose, (b) monetary value and (c) net worth was of each such contract. [83923]

The Department has not awarded any contracts to G4S since May 2010.

National Football Museum

Mark Hendrick:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport what the cost to the public purse was of the closure of the National Football Museum in Preston. [83871]

John Penrose:
The Department uses postcodes for analytical and mapping purposes, including for statistical modelling and for the random selection of households (undertaken by the survey contractors) to be included in the sample for the Taking Part survey.

RMS Titanic: Anniversaries

Andrew Stephenson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport what funding his Development has allocated to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. [83684]

Mr Vaizey:
This Department is aware of a number of initiatives to mark the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic. A number of national and regional museums and heritage centres have plans to mark the occasion. These include the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, and the cities of Southampton, where the Titanic embarked, and Belfast, where she was built.

30 Nov 2011 : Column 921W

Southampton city council was awarded £4.6 million by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) in March 2010 to create a new “Southampton Sea City Museum” which will include a permanent gallery on “Southampton's Titanic Story”.

In 2008 the HLF awarded a grant of £50,000 to Northern Ireland Science Park (NISP) for a project based at the Titanic's Dock and Pump-House in Belfast and also awarded a grant of £174,500 to National Museums Northern Ireland (Ulster Folk and Transport Museum) towards the development of its collection “Titanic: Built in Belfast”. In July 2011 HLF awarded a grant of £3,250,000 to a project to restore the Nomadic—the Titanic's tender vessel—to restore and tell the story of the Nomadic and Belfast in 1911 and 1912.

In addition, the Phillips Memorial Park in Godalming, Surrey, the largest built memorial to a single Titanic victim, received confirmation of a full second round grant of over £335,000. This project is a joint scheme between HLF and the Big Lottery Fund's joint Parks for People programme and will restore the memorial in time for the centenary.

A ‘Your Heritage' award from HLF is also being used to support a project in Maryport, exploring the impact of the sinking of the Titanic.

Justice

Contracts: EU Law

Stephen Phillips:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what assessment he has made of the potential effect on the UK of the European Commission proposals to harmonise contract law within the EU. [83714]

Mr Kenneth Clarke:
The proposal is for the creation of an optional sale of goods law which would be part of the national law of every member state. This optional law could be used by parties involved in the cross-border sale of goods and digital content as an alternative to national contract law. The Commission asserts that this is an alternative regime which would sit alongside, rather than change, national laws.

The Ministry of Justice intends to publish a UK-wide call for evidence soon to obtain evidence and views from businesses and consumers on the potential effect of the legislative proposal on the UK and also to inform the UK Government's position. We have also received advice from the Law Commission that we will use to inform our negotiating position.

G4S

Keith Vaz:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many contracts his Department has awarded to G4S since May 2010; and what the (a) purpose, (b) monetary value and (c) net worth was of each such contract. [83922]

Mr Blunt:
The Ministry of Justice has awarded two contracts to G4S since May 2010. The estimated monetary value for the life of the two contracts is £828.3 million.

Legal Aid Scheme

Pauline Latham:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice (1) how many cases of legal representation were provided through the Legal Aid Exceptional Funding Scheme in 2009-10; and what the cost to the public purse was of such representation. [83276]

(2) how many cases of legal assistance were provided for through the Legal Aid Exceptional Funding Scheme in 2009-10; and what the cost to the public purse was of such assistance. [83277]

Mr Djanogly:
This information is held by the Legal Services Commission (LSC).

112 new cases were granted funding during 2009-10. There was a net spend during that year of £1.68 million, although payments do not necessarily relate to the new cases approved within that year.

These figures cover both representation and assistance approved under the Exceptional Funding scheme. These figures are not separated in the LSC's records as all payments are made under the same process. In practice these are cases funded for representation with occasional assistance funding included. All other assistance is provided through in-scope funding in the normal way.

Youth Justice

Mr Jim Cunningham:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice (1) if he will introduce measures for the Youth Justice Advisory Board to be given a specific responsibility to assess and report on the independence of the Youth Justice Division; and if he will make a statement; [83637]

(3) if he will take steps to create a forum for feedback on the effectiveness of his proposed Youth Justice Advisory Board. [83639]

Mr Blunt:
The Youth Justice Division and Youth Justice Advisory Board were part of the Government's proposals for the new national governance of youth justice and were contingent on the abolition of the Youth Justice Board.

The Government have announced that they are no longer pursuing the abolition of the Youth Justice Board through the Public Bodies Bill. The Youth Justice Division and the Youth Justice Advisory Board will therefore not be established.

Sadiq Khan:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the budget was of each youth offending team in each year between 1997-98 and 2010-11. [83096]

Mr Blunt:
These figures were not collected prior to 2002-03. Details of figures from 2002-03 onwards are contained in the following table.
